Memorial Hermann Community Benefit Corporation partners with five school districts, Houston--the largest in Texas, Pasadena, Aldine, Alief, and Lamar
Consolidated, for its Health Centers for Schools program designed to provide a
"medical home" for uninsured and Medicaid children, k-12th grade.
The program offers access to primary medical care, dental care, mental health
counseling, social service referral, and nutrition counseling. Each of the
ten clinics is staffed by a nurse practitioner/physician assistant, social
worker, licensed vocational nurse, and receptionist with dietitian support and
physician oversight provided. The centers are open year round, five days a week
and serve students in the schools' designated elementary, middle and high
school feeder patterns.
